[fxruby-users] Support for Ruby 1.9?

[Kevin Burge]

Thank you.

I found a possible error in the patch I sent you: It looks like you can 
call "funcall", rather than removing "private :init" from install.rb.  I 
have not verified this.  And, "funcall" is not in 1.8, so I put in:

if RUBY_VERSION < "1.9"
  module Kernel
    alias_method :funcall, :send
  end
end

Haven't quite figured out the difference between funcall, send, and 
__send__.
